There is a questionable term in sport that is used with pleasure and admiration.
It is the "aggressive leader", which means in football: This is the leader who leads the field with all his might.
In boxing, which is more honest, direct, painful and lonely than kicking in a team, aggressiveness is a natural part of the sport.
But boxing is more.
Boxing requires focus, technique, strength, strategy and the courage to step into a ring in a competition with an uncertain outcome in many respects.
Boxing is both offensive and defensive, and often the defensive fighters are the better because they are smarter.
The Klitschko brothers, both former world heavyweight champions, weren't looking for a ruckus but for control, keeping their opponents at bay.
The boxing freaks didn't like that, they love street thugs like Tyson, super technicians like Mayweather.
The Klitschkos thought they were procrastinators, bores.
No real fighters.
What a misjudgment!
When the Ukrainian brothers' boxing career ended, the show a few years past, when Vladimir the younger was a successful businessman and Vitali the elder was the mayor of Kyiv, Russia invaded their homeland with a war of aggression and annihilation .
Not only did the Ukrainian President Selenskyj surpass himself, the Klitschkos did the same.
They lined up in the front row, people looked up at them, gathered behind them.
There is a striking photo of the Klitschkos on the streets of Kyiv.
Vladimir leads the way with a steely gaze, as if embodying the heroic saga of a Hollywood determined warrior.
Left behind Vitali.

A snapshot.
Also a message.
Vitali, the mayor, is not alone in his responsibility and concern.
The brotherly love celebrated in the boxing business also turns out to be a real, unstaged greatness in bombed Kyiv.
Zelenskyy is the frontman of the Ukrainian resistance.
But the Klitschkos also play an important role in this defensive struggle.
As a fighter, as an encourager, as a comforter.
As voices that are heard worldwide.
As role models that are seen worldwide.
They accepted their greatest fight, without hesitation, without hesitation.
They are not interested in how strong the Russian army is, Vitali told CNN.
They are ready to fight and die for their homeland and their families because it is their home, the future.
The Ukraine would not have found this strong fighting unit, which is now so resolutely and bravely confronting the invaders, without Selenskyj, the physically small president who is oversized in his bravery.
Probably not without the Klitschko brothers either.
